Carrie (Spanish Edition) | 
pickI enjoyed this. I see what he was going for with the excerpts from news reports and hearings, but I don't think it was very effective, since it didn't really add much to the story and the subplot of trying to bury the story didn't really lead anywhere. I also didn't love the choppy editing to insert these asides. The story was solid, though, and the buildup was very tense. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
so-so3✨ Going in with a few spoilers I expected bullying, and telekinesis. I did not expect it to hit my feels as much as it did. Typically every girl gets her period around the age of 12. I know for me it was a difficult transition, but for Carrie it was so much worse! This plays on real feels of mine as a kid, and the worst bullies on the face of the planet. It has me thinking who was the real “monster”. #LosersClub
Adding some feminine rage to my Kindle back. 🥰

pick‘This is a novel about the other world in this world. It is the chilling story of a girl and her strange power.‘
No matter how many times I read this I never get tired of it. A story about a girl with a special power, pushed beyond her limits.

pickFinished Carrie today. Probably did not think my lunch through very well while listening though 😅🩸Took an unintentionally long break from #LosersClub but it was nice to read King again. I can‘t believe I‘ve never read this one till now although I did read a lot about it from On Writing. Claimed 2 more word search words and blood for the book cover scavenger hunt. #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew #BookSpinBingo #ReadAway2024 #Spookoween #31by31 ⬇️

pick4/4⭐️
I haven‘t read a lot of Stephen King, but of the books I have read this one is my favorite. I think this is the third time I‘ve read it.
Gigi didn‘t appreciate being bothered.
so-soYou don't really need a synopsis for this book do you? OK, how about bullied teenager uses telekinetic powers to get revenge at the prom.
After reading several of King's other books & not liking them, I decided to finally read one of his books that most people seem to rave about (to see if the problem was the particular books I'd read before) & it was.....ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't earth-shatteringly good either.
pick⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐This was my #DoubleSpin for this month as well as one of my #CastTheDie books and this month's book for #LosersClub. I'm so glad I finally read it, and I only wish I had read it years ago! #HauntedShelf #BlackCatCrew #FrightFall #RIPXIX #Spookoween #SomethingWickedFall
The #FrightFall 24-Hour #Readathon starts in about 15 minutes (10 am EST)! These are just the physical books that I will be choosing from, and they're all from my #BookSpin list and a couple of them are books picked for me for #TrappedInASpookyHouse and #CastTheDie. I'll also be trying to get bingos on several boards including #SuperNaturalBookBingo. #LosersClub #HauntedShelf #BlackCatCrew #Spookoween #RIPXIX
Started this one last night. I forgot how much I like this book.
The first time I saw the film Carrie (1976 or 1977) was in my apartment and I let out a loud #Scream at the final scene 😱 totally unexpected ending but so effective…

Managed to take myself by train to Hoboken, NJ today without getting lost or kidnapped. Carrie was my companion. 13 year old me thought I was so badass sneaking this book from my Dad‘s shelf and reading it. I swear I managed to work my knowledge of telekinesis into every conversation for 6 months because I wanted people to know I read adult books 😂 #LosersClub @BarkingMadRead
pickI dont consider it really scary. It made me more sad than anything, with a side of good for her.
pickA quick read for sure, very to the point.But still enough back story, explanation & motivation to be cohesive. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
Kicking off #losersclub reading @BarkingMadRead
There‘s so many good covers for this one! My version is not my fave but I bought it for $1 at Book Barn Downtown
🩸🩸🩸🩸
Some reading, since everyone but the littlest in the house has the flu. I hope the worst of it is over last night.
pickI finished up my reread of Carrie. This novel always leaves me feeling sad. The tragedy and abuse that Carrie experiences breaks my heart. All she wanted was to fit in.
I like how the story is written with excerpts from books, interviews, and news to unravel what happened.
Although this isn't a favorite King for me, I still like it and appreciate it.

My #Hyggehour consisted of winding down after a lovely beef stew, sipping valerian tea and reading by candlelight as I don't have a fire.
That's ticked off 4 squares on my #Witchathon bingo board and about to start a new horror book while I hide under the blankets. 🖤🎃🖤

Oh, the damage I could have done in middle school 🐈⬛

My favorite radio station is Stephen King's Rock N' Roll Station WKIT 100.3 FM. I grew up in Bangor, Maine, USA & still have family there. I often listen to WKIT when I'm driving to visit them.

pickCarrie White does not have it easy. She is unpopular at school and subjected to her mother‘s religious fanaticism at home. She also has a secret: she can move things with her mind. When she feels like she‘s been given a chance to be normal, an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror.
This was a reread. Always as good as the first time I read it.

1. Had to help with fixing the rain gutter yesterday. Like to get my daily writing word count up, and try to catch up on reading goals.
2. My porch, lawns, cars, and houses.
3. Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Been warmer with more sun for a couple days. Right now it‘s around 70°.
4. Should be finishing this today.

As I contemplate about how to approach a major sort of all the books , I saw this posted , I couldn‘t resist to see if there were copies left at Blackwell‘s , now it‘s mine ! Ba ha ha !
I seriously slacked off on my Stephen King reading plan, so I‘m starting back at the beginning.

50 years old. Wow. 😳
Managed to bag this beauty and it was the last copy in Waterstone's Liverpool ❤️
I cannot wait for the rest of the 50th anniversary ones to come out.
I love Stephen King- and my late 80‘s reading were full of King, Koontz and Saul. Margaret Atwood (also a favorite) wrote the intro to the 50th anniversary edition- and the Times shares it- It is filled with nuances and information that only make me love Stephen King even more.
50th anniversary edition has arrived. 50!!!!
I was 6 and didn‘t read then, think I was probably 11 before I nicked it off my brother‘s shelf.
pickIt was interesting reading this one again. I think the story‘s structure is very messy — switching between different POVs and news clippings, book excerpts, and court transcripts — but the characters are some of King‘s best, and this ends up remaining one of his most emotional and angry books.
Stephen King walked around Bangors cemetery and often got his names for some of his characters from the tombstones he would walk by. This grave was where he got the name for his famous work, “Carrie.” I got a picture of it when we went up to Maine recently and it‘s perfect for todays #scarathlon prompt!
